Dr Marion Hetherington talks about low calorie sweeteners and weight management, in this video podcast filmed at the International Congress of Nutrition 2013. Dr Hetherington explains that low calorie sweeteners can be an effective tool in weight management by allowing people to consume food and beverages they enjoy, but are less energy dense. One of the problems for dieters in managing weight is the sense of deprivation of enjoyable food -- low calorie sweeteners eradicate this problem and help dieters stay on track.
